113: The world is so big, it's normal to have the same name

Arriving at the Mission Temple, Lin Ling immediately began to search through the various bounties displayed on the large screen.

To obtain Ice Silkworm Silk, he needed to clear a dungeon called Ice Silkworm Cave.

However, the Ice Silkworm Cave required a challenge token, which was very rare, and buying it for a high price was not worth it.

If someone was willing to provide the token, he could join a team, which would be the most cost-effective option.

But after searching for a while, there was no one running the Ice Silkworm Cave.

Just as he was about to leave,

the bounty board suddenly refreshed.

Two new bounties appeared on the screen.

"[High-priced Purchase: 100 million dragon coins for a cooling crystal.]"

Lin Ling couldn't help but feel a bit regretful; he did have a cooling crystal before, but it had already been used.

"Tsk tsk... They're really willing to spend. A cooling crystal usually only costs a few million dragon coins, right? They're offering 100 million."

As he thought this, his gaze fell on the second bounty.

"[High-tier Bounty: Clear Ice Silkworm Cave on Nightmare difficulty. Bounty of 200 million dragon coins. Challenge token provided. Seeking experts to clear it. Only need Ice Silkworm Silk.]"

Lin Ling's eyes lit up.

This was truly a case of getting exactly what he needed.

Like someone bringing water when he was thirsty, or food when he was hungry.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and accepted the bounty quest.

Not far away, Autumn Leaf, dressed in a fiery red magic robe, suddenly widened her eyes.

Her already large and commanding eyes now glowed with fervent light.

"Someone accepted it! Someone actually accepted it! To accept it so quickly, that expert must be in the Mission Hall."

She quickly used the quest panel to contact the Professional who accepted the quest.

"[Autumn Leaf mg: Big shot, are you in the Mission Hall?]

[Ye Xiu: Mm.]"

Lin Ling looked at Autumn Leaf's name on the quest panel and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

This name was the same as the young lady from the Forging Master Guild that Old Jiang mentioned.

He glanced at the team status.

The moment he accepted the quest, the system automatically formed a team between him and the quest publisher.

He shook his head, a faint smile on his face.

"It shouldn't be that coincidental. The world is so big, duplicate names aren't uncommon."

Meanwhile,

about five meters behind Lin Ling,

Autumn Leaf, in her red dress, was flailing her arms and beaming with excitement.

"The big shot is so aloof! Wahahaha, I like it."

She took two deep breaths to calm her excited feelings and continued sending messages.

"[Autumn Leaf mg: Big shot, our names are a little similar! Your name sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before. (*╹▽╹*)]

[Ye Xiu: Mm, the 'Ye' character is the same.]

[Autumn Leaf mg: ...]

[Autumn Leaf mg: Big shot, I'm wearing a fiery red long dress, standing in the center of the Mission Hall.]

[Ye Xiu: Me too.]

[Ye Xiu: I'm not wearing a fiery red long dress.]

[Autumn Leaf mg: Uh... Big shot is so humorous (*￣︶￣*).]

[Ye Xiu: I see you.]"

Autumn Leaf's heart began to pound, and she immediately started looking around.

Soon, she discovered that about five meters away from her, a handsome young man in a white magic robe was looking at her with a faint smile.

"You... you accepted the quest?" Autumn Leaf's face couldn't help but twitch.

To Autumn Leaf, Lin Ling looked far too young. He looked like a new Professional who had just awakened his talent.

Although he was very handsome, he was quite different from the image of the big shot in Autumn Leaf's mind.

However, she didn't know why, but she felt that this sunny young man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

It seemed she had seen him somewhere before, but she just couldn't recall where.

"Eh? Isn't this the Healer who saved someone just now? So he discovered that I'm as beautiful as a flower, and that's why he followed me."

A glint flickered in Autumn Leaf's eyes, and she immediately made a judgment in her heart.

Lin Ling nodded and said faintly, "Let's go. Let's not waste time."

Autumn Leaf's face instantly fell. She took a step forward, raised both hands, and pinched Lin Ling's fair cheeks.

"Little brother, I know you're handsome, but if you want to flirt with big sister, this isn't the way. I'm serious about posting this bounty, so please don't mess around, okay? You're really too young."

Lin Ling was instantly dumbfounded.

Who the heck is too young?

Where am I too young?

Besides, you didn't specify an age limit for your bounty, did you?

His face darkened, and he instantly took a step back, widening the distance between himself and Autumn Leaf.

This was the first time he had been pinched on the face by a girl, and a beautiful, fiery, mature woman at that.

At this moment, his cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, but his gaze towards Autumn Leaf carried a hint of disdain.

I am the future Law God. Is my face something you can just pinch casually?

Lin Ling's evasion instantly brought a never-before-seen sense of novelty to Autumn Leaf's eyes.

"Little fellow, what kind of look is that? While my beauty might not be peerless, it can at least be considered... I know! You're playing hard to get."

"Alright, you go find those little girls. Big sister doesn't like pretty boys. Big sister prefers wild, muscular men, the kind with muscles."

As Autumn Leaf spoke, she didn't forget to flex her arm, showing off her non-existent biceps.

To save Lin Ling some face, she didn't immediately kick him out of the team. Instead, she canceled the previous quest and re-posted it.

The bounty quest was canceled, and the team was automatically disbanded.

Lin Ling was speechless to see her perform such a divine operation.

But he urgently needed Ice Silkworm Silk, so he had no choice but to accept the quest again.

However, after he accepted the quest, he found that the original two-person team now had an additional member.

"[Team] [Autumn Leaf mg: Wahahaha, the big shot is here! Thank you for accepting the quest, big shot! What's your level?]

Autumn Leaf couldn't help but feel a little helpless seeing Ye Xiu join the team again, but when she saw another member named Batutianxia, her eyes immediately lit up.

This time, she was smarter. She directly asked in the team channel, which would both confirm the other party's strength and make that pretty boy retreat gracefully.

Soon, a message came through the team channel.

"[Batutianxia: 4th-turn Level 119 Thunder Mage, S-rank talent.]"

Seeing this level, Autumn Leaf, who had just reached 4th-turn, instantly saw a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"[Autumn Leaf mg: Big shot, do you have anyone else? Can we clear it stably?]

[Batutianxia: No problem. I've led people through it once before. I see you're wearing a magic robe, so you should be a Mage, right? With two Mages, there's at least an 80% chance of clearing it.]"

Clearly, Lin Ling's presence was completely ignored by this 4th-turn Thunder Mage.

"[Autumn Leaf mg: That's great! Then let's depart now. I have a fighter jet; we can fly directly to Kuntu Base City.]

[Batutianxia: Who is this? Are they also coming to clear the dungeon? Ye Xiu? Is he the same as that guy who caused a stir before, with the same name?]

Autumn Leaf suddenly felt awkward. Should she kick out this somewhat cute and handsome little brother?

"[Autumn Leaf mg: Little brother, you should leave. We're doing a Nightmare-level dungeon; it's too dangerous for you to go.]

[Ye Xiu: Don't mind me. I'll act when I need to.]

[Autumn Leaf mg: ...]

Just as Autumn Leaf was speechless, she suddenly remembered the scene of Lin Ling healing the little girl.

Perhaps bringing a Healer wasn't a bad thing.

"[Autumn Leaf mg: Batutianxia big shot, this little brother is a Healer. It's the same whether two of us go or three of us go. Having an extra Healer provides more insurance. What do you think...?]

[Batutianxia: Healer?]

[Ye Xiu: I'm not a Healer.]

[Autumn Leaf mg: Not a Healer? Then how can you use healing spells? Oh, I know! You're a Light Mage.]"

Lin Ling didn't refute, tacitly agreeing to Autumn Leaf's guess.

"[Batutianxia: Whatever. I just happen to need one more person. Just be obedient once we enter the dungeon. If you're not, don't blame me for being impolite.]"
